added blueberries mixed with a bit of brown sugar instead of cranberries yum!
Hope you liked the cornbread! The cranberries are added to the bowl with the confectioners' sugar in step 2.
This is just the right balance of sweet and tart - when you use fresh cranberries as the recipe calls for. It's a smooth and creamy sweet and tart corn bread, really an excellent recipe! Make it exactly as written and you will not go wrong with this one.
Just spotted this recipe and am making it for the first time (to have with hearty homemade pea soup). Took cranberries, frozen, from the freezer and began cutting them in 1/2, one by one. Not only did my fingers on my left hand, holding the cranberry in place start to uncomfortably freeze, but the process was going to take forever to halve an entire cup of berries. Got the idea to use a hand held pastry blender, and it worked like a charm, cutting several cranberries at a time. Was done so much faster this way - I highly recommend it!
Cut each cranberry in half?
Used 3T butter melted, 1.5 cups cranberries chopped in food processor, 1/4 cup plus 1/8 cup for each sugar (25% reduction), 1 cup of cornmeal, 3/4 cup flour
